Manitoba RCMP have a suspect in custody after a 19-year-old man was attacked with a machete Saturday morning.
Police said they were called to the scene at O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation just after 5 a.m., and while they were en route, they spotted the suspect walking down the road.
He was arrested after a short foot chase, and police then found the victim at a nearby home. He was rushed to the local nursing station for treatment, then airlifted to a hospital in Winnipeg.
The suspect faces an aggravated assault charge and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
RCMP from the South Indian Lake detachment continue to investigate.
